The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the early Romans used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. |
